Where's the best place to get a dashboard camera?

I have recently had a few 'near misses' from drivers pulling out of junctions and just general bad driving. Last year a driver swerved across the central white lines to avoid a jogger and smashed my wing mirror off. As I was unable to prove the other driver was liable, the claim was settled 50/50. Is it possible to buy a dashboard camera to prevent this from happening again?

Halfords have a new service fitting these from about £70. I will be testing a Smartwitness dashcam from next Wednesday and be posting a full review.

Is it wise to hardwire a dashcam to a car fuse box yourself or does it require specialist knowledge and equipment?
I note that this dash cam can be operated by battery, I assume by internal battery alone, can you advise as to how long it will operate by battery, and is the battery included in the cost? I also note...
I have three vehicles but obviously cannot drive them all at once. Is it possible to buy a dashcam that I can transfer between them?
